Reply #176: this is a snapshot, on a smaller scale, of what is wrong with liberals

It's probably because we all hang on to our individuality no matter what, whereas Republicans are more than happy to let others do the thinking while they march in lockstep, but...

As soon as things are looking up for the left, there's infighting and sniping and all kinds of nastiness. It's as though we're most comfortable being the underdog, and we pull together beautifully when we're down, but as soon as things are good (Bush's approval at 29%, for example) we start fighting amongst ourselves.

While creatures like Rove cackle gleefully.
